Vegan Brunch Homestyle Recipes Worth Waking Up For From Asparagus Omelets to Strawberry Pancakes

Skeptics accuse brunch of being nothing but a glorified breakfast. Well, yeah, kinda. But breakfast in this day and age is just a muffin in one hand, a coffee in the other, a mad rush to work, and crumbs all over your shirt. Breakfast is whatever we eat first thing in the morning, but brunch is an event. More than any other meal, brunch seems to have a purpose in our lives that isn't just about the food being served. It's a time to catch up with friends. Time to slow down. Time to hatch great plans, to get all hyped up on coffee, and say dumb stuff that haunts you for the rest of your life.

Vegan Brunch offers revamped savory classics like omelets and scrambles as well as scrumptious waffles, french toasts and pancakes for that morning sweet tooth. Recipes include:

• Pumpkin French Toast
• Tomato, Basil and Ricotta Omelet
• Sweet Lemon Crepes
• Mom's Morning Casserole
• Chocolate Beer Waffles And
• Samosa Mashed Potatoes
